Lawyer's circle of friends
Jiang Yong has nine mobile phones.
Nowadays, for most office workers, the mobile phone is not only a communication or entertainment tool, but also an entrance to the robot cat, which can transport you to the work site anytime and anywhere. Some people can't wait to set their mobile phones to "stop" as soon as they get off work, while Jiang Yong is busy dealing with nine mobile phones-the number is still increasing-and enjoys it.
Jiang Yong has more than 40,000 WeChat friends, most of whom are legal professionals. With 40,000 followers in the vertical industry, the influence cannot be underestimated. Every morning and evening or on the way to and from work, Jiang Yong will take turns to handle the WeChat messages of nine mobile phones, and will also carefully edit and publish some content to the circle of friends. "Actually, I'm a reporter," Jiang Yong joked. "In theory, I only need to update this WeChat circle of friends on my nine mobile phones, and all 40,000 WeChat friends can see what I send."
Jiang Yong's circle of friends not only has legal expertise and work activities, but also has daughters and long-distance running. In his spare time, he will send his daughter to school, play games with her, or simply stay with her and do nothing-only such opportunities are pitiful. Long-distance running is Jiang Yong's interest He packed his running shoes into his suitcase and ran wherever he went on business. He believes that people who insist on exercise can exude different spiritual temperament. "On the one hand, you can ensure your energy, and more importantly, you can help people develop a more active and healthy lifestyle, which will affect his life." Jiang Yong sets an example and hopes to influence more young people in the legal circle.
Over time, Jiang Yong gathered a group of runners to join his team. As long as the circle of friends calls, it will attract local friends to come and run together.
"I am a person who likes to make friends," he said. "My personality just caters to the Internet, and the logic of the Internet is connection."
The connection of legal persons has opened the internet revolution in the legal service industry.
320 thousand, 200 thousand
Confucius' The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan said, "I am still a human being when I hear about litigation, so I will not litigate." The case I tried is no different from others, but my goal is to make people not argue.
Walking into the gate of Tiantong Law Firm and bypassing the screen wall, you can see a "no litigation" plaque on the main room of the quadrangle, which is Jiang Yong's ideal.
A lawyer's job is to represent others. Why does Jiang Yong hope that there will be no more lawsuits in the world? Just as a smart doctor can "nip in the bud", so can a smart lawyer. In Jiang Yong's eyes, the so-called "non-litigation", from the perspective of legal services, is to help the parties guard against legal risks, resolve the litigation crisis, and finally save the customers from litigation. For the client, this is more meaningful than simply helping him with the lawsuit.
Enterprises face all kinds of legal risks in the course of operation. These legal risks are like people's tooth decay or small black spots, which can't be taken seriously, but when the pain breaks out, it will make them sleepless all night, and complicated treatment methods such as non-tooth extraction or root canal treatment can't be saved. For enterprises, it is a long process from contact with legal disputes to litigation. If you rely on the help of lawyers, or if the internal legal management of enterprises is effective enough, you can nip in the bud.
But there are very few enterprises that really prevent problems. The demand for legal services of enterprises is very small, which goes deep into the whole process of daily business. External lawyers can't completely intervene in every detail of the daily business of the enterprise, but can only passively solve the problems that arise, which has a very limited role in risk management and control.
Generally speaking, enterprises of sufficient scale will set up legal departments with legal personnel to help them handle legal-related affairs. However, the legal system is divided into different categories, but lawyers specialize in their professions. The number of legal professionals in enterprises is limited, and their abilities are also limited. Even if a person's knowledge and ability can achieve comprehensive response in all aspects, it also means extremely high employment costs, which is inevitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The cost of hiring people is high, and the cost of replacing people is higher. Lawyers with sufficient experience and profound qualifications, considering the career development path and space, are generally not satisfied with taking root in a company for many years. The old man left, the new man came, and the enterprise had to face the cost of transformation.
If there is a "cloud legal department" to help these enterprises handle daily legal affairs, contact lawyers at any time and solve their needs, it will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of legal services, and even have great innovation significance for the whole legal industry. As a result, Jiang Yong founded a non-litigation, a startup company that combines Internet and legal services.
The number of lawyers in China has reached 320,000, and there are nearly 200,000 lawyers registered on the non-litigation platform. About two-thirds of legal practitioners in China have used the help provided by the non-litigation App to some extent in their work. In a Q&A community, search "What legal applications are recommended in the mobile phones of legal practitioners?" There are tens of thousands of followers, and almost all the answers with high votes suggest no litigation.
By providing resource services such as industry information and case documents, we can enhance the platform stickiness on the basis of improving personal work efficiency, and build a talent pool covering more than 60% of lawyers without litigation in China.
"We want to build a cloud-based and trustworthy legal department. Any small and medium-sized enterprise can find us when it needs legal services, and solve the legal services in the daily production and operation process with lower cost and more comprehensive services through our platform. Demand. " Data feedback record is the evaluation benchmark of Internet. Using the data, the level of lawyers can be standardized without litigation, thus helping the demander and the supplier to improve the matching efficiency.
At present, around the non-litigation network platform, a "vertical community of legal persons in China" has basically taken shape, with more than 50,000 qualified lawyers available at any time.
Double-sided personality
Lawyers have always been known for their tradition, conservatism and security, while entrepreneurs need to be open, bold and dare to try and make mistakes. Jiang Yong is both a lawyer and an entrepreneur. "Don't tell me, I'm really split."
Compared with many young entrepreneurs, Jiang Yong is over 40 years old and his temples are gray. He has had two entrepreneurial experiences. After graduating from China University of Political Science and Law, Jiang Yong worked in the Supreme People's Court. When he left his job for the first time, he founded Tiantong Law Firm. Today, Tiantong is well-known in the industry and is rated as "particularly good at handling major, complex and difficult civil and commercial cases". No matter the number of agency cases or the success rate, it is envied by peers.
For such lawyers, it is faster to make money by taking more cases, but Jiang Yong's pursuit is to inject the vitality of Internet reform into the entire legal service industry. "Since internet plus is destined to sweep all walks of life, the legal service industry is one of them. Instead of letting the' barbarians' outside break it, it is better for us to follow suit. " Jiang Yong said that the more innovation in the professional field, the more "insiders" are needed to deal with it.
Of course, the road to change is not smooth sailing. Before the introduction of financing, the operating expenses of non-litigation basically came from Jiang Yong's income as a lawyer. In 2065438+2006, the litigation-free company obtained the B-round financing10.2 billion yuan led by Huachuang Capital and managed by IDG Capital. On the one hand, this round of financing is used to polish the service products of non-litigation enterprises, on the other hand, it is used to strengthen the construction of lawyer's ability data, and part of it is invested in the exploration of legal artificial intelligence. Jiang Yong said that due to strict requirements, a large amount of manuscript data will be left in the process of legal work, which is in line with the data-based logic of artificial intelligence. Therefore, artificial intelligence has great potential in the legal field in the future.
From legal person to internet person, the change of identity is also a new beginning for Jiang Yong. "Going into the business again will make me feel dissatisfied, and it will also inspire me a lot of vitality again, so that I can always maintain the spirit of innovation and not be easy to look old. There will always be new goals to pursue and life will be more interesting. "
